Comment on Why does the film press talk so much about box office income?
Pandantic@midwest.social 3 months agoKind of sucks in my opinion because all it means is “Other people like it”.
It doesn’t even mean that, it just meant that they anticipated liking it and payed movie theater money to watch it. It could, by another metric, be seen as a flop or bad movie. Especially when it comes to opening weekend revenue because all that means is their advertising worked and got butts in seats for the first 3 days it was out.

Excellent point that’s absolutely true. It means “Marketing worked” (at least early on)
